Freeman Toyota: Staff said Freeman Toyota is working on engineering plans and has begun submittals; significant earthwork will be required because of grade changes on the site.

Latera Medical and La Terra Village: Staff reported the Latera medical site is going vertical and noted it is immediately in front of the other two La Terra Village buildings discussed earlier in the meeting. Staff reiterated that a third building shown on the site plan will require a separate site plan submission in the future.

Fire station and QT: The city’s new fire station (location on FM 156 corridor) was reported as a major forthcoming project that will be “a big deal” when completed. Staff said QT (convenience/gas) remains in the permitting queue and is working toward final plan submittals.

Industrial warehouses (Stream Realty): Staff said three industrial buildings north of Pass Drive remain in the permit stage but are expected to become active; developers and city engineers are working to complete a gap roadway between Intermodal North and Haslet Parkway/Asset Parkway that will serve as fire lanes for those facilities. Staff said a meeting with the developer was scheduled to resolve access and light requirements.

Farmers market appropriation: Staff noted a congressional appropriations line item for a City of Haslet farmers market and teaching gardens in the amount of $2,300,000 is pending and awaiting congressional action; staff will monitor that item and follow up with lobbyists and the city attorney regarding timing of a possible March vote in Congress.

Staff encouraged commissioners to expect more project submittals in coming weeks and noted that some previously stalled sites are becoming active.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission - 28 Jan 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff updated the Planning and Zoning Commission on multiple active projects: Freeman Toyota engineering submittals, Latera Medical moving vertical, a new fire station under construction, a potential QT site, and three industrial warehouses by Stream Realty that require interior fire‑lane and roadway work.","taxTitle","Haslet, Denton County, Texas","taxId",61615,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6361748,"Haslet staff outline proposed library expansion, repurposing and proposed nonresident card fee",1141,2468000,3609000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af&start=2468&end=3609","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af/thumbnail_2468000.jpg","/articles/6361748/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Haslet-staff-outline-proposed-library-expansion-repurposing-and-proposed-nonresident-card-fee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361748-c39446e156642a84d3ca3c828f768000/orig.mp4?Expires=1773639499&Signature=TPWHaAZnwIZeInjP0KGwkmrRGRFK2OGsZN4io23gzasWHP8KK8CmXW2q-VwIXqLY9ms0QXOunwhkpnT9xwEsrL6h~tg83AxELmUshaOEbhhYq2DlCR0aqiQNCRrehzkMK~sezUa6P4OVnLyiXOPeNo9mRRdYftvmRYB-VPpiz1NppzOwJnWuxbs1tyvelk6JphAG7vuYnPh9XCaLFEDiUovAhKAbcxH6RT~iy1Ow1I7WfJVgiFLeYHwygQQmA7YLGeh7FNMNg-N7v3bzPedA0PZxMnczCFwTdM8OSxEQTXtRpb7tZa7ZKG3yKhfAzcomTD7Lk4mHbDbaTeYeUD7W1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff and a city official on Jan. 28 presented a library plan discussion that asked the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider a new library building and reuse options for the existing facility.

Staff said the city’s existing library is 3,569 gross square feet and the proposed replacement concept is about 8,000 square feet. Preliminary construction‑cost examples given were roughly $400 to $500 per square foot, which would translate to an estimated $3.2 million to $4.0 million construction cost for an 8,000‑square‑foot building; staff noted those are planning‑level estimates. The city said it will budget to hire a consultant who specializes in library planning to produce a needs analysis tied to projected population build‑out (staff cited a target population build‑out of about 95,100 in the analysis example).

Staff also described a potential repurposing of the existing library building to provide administrative office space or chamber space; staff gave a rough remodel estimate of roughly $150 per square foot and an example remodel cost of about $540,000 for the existing building if repurposed.

On revenue, the library board approved a $25 annual nonresident card fee; staff said there are roughly 75–100 active nonresident cards and that if all nonresidents signed up the fee could generate as much as $150,000 a year (staff noted that card purchases are voluntary and revenues are not guaranteed). Staff emphasized the focus of any expansion should be on serving Haslet residents and taxpayers.

Commissioners also discussed whether a multi‑use municipal building (combining library and city offices) had been considered. Staff said the idea merits study but cautioned about operational and security differences between library and municipal uses and said no formal study had yet been done. Staff asked commissioners to bring ideas and considered hiring a consultant to analyze library size and program needs.

No final decision was made; staff will proceed with the consultant selection and return recommendations.","City staff presented a proposal to study an 8,000‑square‑foot replacement library (existing building 3,569 sq ft), consider repurposing the current library for office space, and implement a $25 annual fee for nonresident library cards; staff will hire a library consultant for sizing and programming.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6361752,"Haslet planners briefed on Blue Mound Road and FM 156 intersection improvements, traffic analysis",805,1330000,2135000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af&start=1330&end=2135","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af/thumbnail_1330000.jpg","/articles/6361752/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Haslet-planners-briefed-on-Blue-Mound-Road-and-FM-156-intersection-improvements-traffic-analysis","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361752-45b81b2045bedd5e2426fc2dbbbf491f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773639499&Signature=UtWA81aR3MadGSq1hDR2XzSt5HLsL6CbgRN6dzuhiV7E1MUKbBcFNcEvPTe6skj9E3JegJry~RVYw65yzi-p~~dUr3g~qRW9HwjAGz5iKcwNWRIv5jtYXAQ2NNz71x5ec0tr2Xd5Yv1UpyPqK-inzhVIyIMZ6BjeRp~kLWtZezh2~01rXksz7N4vv5xnNrBRm04Lp6plhteN6sSFRU~MS0Qo3VYxCbwZE00qK2S95IkndyWHfjzaMcXFC4guPr4H4ok0f40~yOnU7z0SrJ9D9jb3Y2kiBQdrYr1b~fD~WVMmgM6od8JDvRUWDERX5KiZ0J4jNZjgQG-pYfW2TSKWNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planners and a city official briefed the Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 28 about forthcoming roadway projects focused on Blue Mound Road and the intersection with FM 156.

A prior engineering concept for a full rebuild of Blue Mound Road was estimated at about $55 million and the city official said he advised against placing that full bond proposal on the November ballot because the 20‑year debt service would have nearly doubled the local property tax rate (the official said an illustrative additional $0.29 on the $0.35 tax rate was a possible outcome under that scenario). Since then, two traffic engineers completed traffic impact analyses (TIAs) that preliminarily support a three‑lane roadway (one lane each direction plus a center turn lane) to handle existing and near‑term development traffic.

The presenters said intersection improvements at Blue Mound Road and FM 156 would provide a dedicated right lane, a through lane, and a dedicated left‑turn lane in both east and west approaches to reduce queueing and improve access to FM 156. The city noted that a nearby large development outside city limits (identified in the presentation as the LaPral development) will bear part of the intersection improvement cost through its required traffic mitigation, so the city will not be responsible for the entire project cost.

Commissioners asked about lane‑storage depth and how many vehicles each dedicated lane could queue; staff said the TIAs will provide lane‑capacity and storage‑length estimates and that the city’s direction to engineers is to size the turn/queueing lanes large enough to make a measurable difference (staff said the needed storage could be several hundred feet if required). Presenters noted the work can likely be completed within the city’s existing right of way.

Staff also described recent signal improvements at the FM 156 intersection (replacement of older camera detection with radar detection and “tuning” of timing), and said more signal optimization is expected as part of the planned intersection changes. The city said separate coordination with TxDOT and municipal authority under the transportation code will guide final designs.

No formal action was taken; staff asked the commission to consider the project in its planning role and to expect further engineering reports and cost estimates.","Planning staff presented preliminary traffic analysis showing a three‑lane configuration with center turn lane would address queuing on Blue Mound Road at FM 156; an earlier 20‑year $55 million bond concept was deferred and developers are expected to shoulder part of intersection costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6361757,"Planning & Zoning approves La Terra Village site plan and plats; downtown replat cleared",347,156000,503000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af&start=156&end=503","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2170190-f489c07b7038c660ea0a803a1460d4af/thumbnail_156000.jpg","/articles/6361757/Haslet/Denton-County/Texas/Planning-Zoning-approves-La-Terra-Village-site-plan-and-plats-downtown-replat-cleared","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361757-cc91c4e23042056f30cce6451f1c0a50/orig.mp4?Expires=1773639499&Signature=H~F3rUKDPDCYLc6rgM4zklvF2YeJZZwv-OnQI5TMC4Oo5Mn8YMH7pibcfW3cL17U9jgaUAsEq3K6E-L5arDHPoPguJ4KsAEj--BzUpKWa0EA5ivXLm2YaIntTYfu77olEi4iphJAxRvRziKJimcyeQ900erva74qQO8eHnpn7LiOJ4jPnZgYKbw1AVIz3vbnwG2rxQxxlMBu8j~SMUY7LM4iFyAaYYcg5hjenS6ULt9LiUA8Kv-II0-79xO9keZCIIrkKOluEMrRZ-sHqrDqJyc1tYIbywMAYKSRevssRJcAjPyn5d8imUmdFcnC3eiWXIPPuYk9FsJ2uoCn7Z7WNQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 28, 2025, voted unanimously to approve site and landscape plans for lots 4A, 4B and 9R of La Terra Village, approved the final plat for lots 4A, 4B, 9R, 10 and 12 of La Terra Village, and approved the replat of Lot 15R‑1, Block 12 in downtown Haslet. The commission also approved its Dec. 17, 2024, regular meeting minutes.

The item on the site and landscape plans covered a 1.676‑acre tract west of FM 156 and south of Avondale‑Haslet Road where applicants showed two buildings (a proposed medical building and a general office building) and a planned third building that will require a separate future site plan when developers submit that building. Staff told commissioners the plans conform to city standards and that the packet included landscape and photometric plans for the two buildings currently proposed.

Commission discussion focused on parking layout and accessible parking requirements if multiple businesses occupy a single building. City staff said accessible spaces must be near primary entrances on each lot and that parking would need adjustment if multiple primary entrances were later added. The commission voted to recommend approval of the site and landscape plans.

The commission then approved a final plat covering 4.548 acres that includes two additional, undeveloped lots south of the site plan area; staff noted the plat is for conveyance and that additional site plans and engineering will be required when those lots are developed. Commissioners were told site plans can expire (typically two years) even though plats do not.

Finally, the commission approved a replat of Lot 15R‑1, Block 12, a small tract near 120 Main Street. Staff explained the replat removes overly large, older setbacks—including a 15‑foot side setback and a 30‑foot front setback shown on the prior plat—that currently encroach on an existing building and make the lot harder to sell.

All three substantive agenda motions passed with unanimous voice votes after motions and seconds were made.","The Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved site and landscape plans for portions of La Terra Village, approved a final plat for additional La Terra lots, and approved a downtown replat; meeting minutes were also approved.","actionData","errors"]
